The insistent buzz of an alarm clock was enough to awake Teo from his slumber with a suffering groan. [color=Aquamarine]"Alright. Alright I'm up."[/color] He grumbled sitting up from the bed and hitting the clock's off switch with probably a bit too much force than necessary. It was 5:30am. Way to early to be awake in his honest opinion. Mateo took a moment to rub what sleep he could from his eyes before getting up. If he didn't get out of bed now then there was a good chance he wasn't going to get up at all. In a matter of twenty minutes he managed to take a quick cold shower, brush his teeth, and over all freshen up for the day. Feeling more awake, the ravenette manged to locate his work uniform, pulling his diner issued polo over his head. Not really his style but he supposed it wasn't too bad. He thought checking his reflection in the mirror one last time. ....Well he didn't exactly look like death at least. 

Mateo being neither exceptionally tall nor not quite short guy stands at an average height at 5'9'. He has a lean build sporting lean muscles, firm shoulders, and a thin waist. His hair is made up of short black locks that are styled in a short fluffy mohawk with the sides being buzzed. Below thin black brows sit a pair of ocean blue eyes that seem to have a perpetual  sleep deprived hollow look about them. Working two jobs didn't help much either. His skin tone being a natural tan in color is marred with a few scars here and there. The most noticeable being an old bullet wound in his left side. 

Checking the time once more, he grabbed his car keys made it out the door taking a moment to lock it behind him.Thankfully his car started without much of a fuss. That was a blessing in itself. Usually it took a couple of attempts and a bit of pleading to even crank. It helped that 'Emily's Family Diner" wasn't that far of a drive and at this hour traffic was not an issue either. He pulled into the diner's parking lot with the familiar rattle his car always seemed to make. Teo walked into the diner giving his fellow sleep deprived co-workers a nod in greeting feeling a bit of energy hit him as the smell of freshly brewed coffee hit him. He supposed the upside to opening for the diner was the free coffee that was always provided by the cooks. He slipped off his jacket in favor for his waist apron and grabbed the necessary cleaning supplies to bust tables. A glance at the clock, the diner would open soon and if he wanted to be done in time he'd need to get started soon. Today was gonna be a long. He could just feel it.
